Chapter 278
A sense of worry surfaced in everyone’s hearts as they looked out at the torrential rain.
Yes, the floodwater wasn’t receding, and the water level kept rising higher. If it flooded the building, what would we do?
Previously, everyone had subconsciously avoided this topic, not daring to think about it deeply.
They always hoped in their hearts that the heavy rain would stop and the flood would recede.
But it had been half a year, the heavy rain hadn’t stopped, and there was no sign of the flood receding.
Everyone was already numb to it.
Many people subconsciously didn’t dare to think about these things anymore.
But today, at this very joyful moment, someone brought it up again, ruining everyone’s good mood.
Although Liang Yuan was in the room, with his keen senses, he naturally heard the commotion outside.
He frowned slightly, and as expected, even though his prestige was already so high and so many people in the building treated him as their leader,
there were still a few who didn’t like him.
He squinted slightly, his eyes flickering, not saying anything, but he remembered this incident in his heart.
After thinking for a moment, Liang Yuan suddenly stood up and said to the people outside the door, “Everyone, if you are free this afternoon, please come to the rooftop. Inform each other; I have something to announce p>
Liang Yuan’s words immediately made everyone’s hearts jump.
Many property owners suddenly remembered the last time everyone gathered on the rooftop because of the airplane incident.
After that, Liu Changfa angered Liang Yuan, which led to a killing spree and a subsequent increase in the price of food in exchange.
Everyone’s faces changed slightly, and someone quickly shouted out.
“Mr. Liang, we didn’t say those disheartening words p>
“Yes, Mr. Liang, it has nothing to do with us p>
“Who was it? Who said those disheartening words at this time? Stand up. I won’t spare you p>
“Mr. Liang, please don’t be angry.” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ.net
Everyone’s faces even showed a look of pleading, hoping Liang Yuan wouldn’t get angry because of this.
Liang Yuan just smiled and said to everyone, “You are mistaken. I just want to discuss something with all of you. This matter concerns our future survival p>
“Of course, you don’t have to come. I won’t force you p>
“After lunch, I’ll be waiting for everyone on the rooftop p>
In the crowd, a middle-aged man with messy hair looked at Liang Yuan through the crowd, then silently lowered his head and quickly left with the crowd.
Before long, he arrived at a room on the 19th floor of Unit 6.
He knocked on the door lightly. There was no sound inside. After a moment, he changed his knocking pattern to three long and two short, knocking rhythmically a few times.
“Who is it p>
“Old Zheng, it’s me, Fu Xingwen p>
“It’s Xiaofu, open the door p>
The door opened, and the middle-aged man named Fu Xingwen looked around, seeing no one following, he quickly slipped inside.
The person who opened the door also looked outside, confirmed no one was there, and then closed the door.
Inside the house, three people were gathered in the living room.
A woman busy cooking in the kitchen.
After coming in, Fu Xingwen said to the people in the living room, “Is there anything to eat p>
“Zhou Qin is cooking. What’s going on outside? Why such a commotion?” one of them asked.
Fu Xingwen said in a deep voice, “That Liang Yuan, he set up a plant room, and today the vegetables he planted sprouted. Lots of people went to see it p>
“What? He grew vegetables p>
“Great, does that mean we can have vegetables in the future p>
“You’re dreaming. Who knows if these vegetables will be available for exchange when they grow p>
“Yeah, vegetables are different from rice and flour. Rice and flour can go bad if he keeps them too long, so he’s willing to exchange them for fish p>
“But vegetables are different. The yield is limited. He won’t have enough for himself, let alone exchange p>
“Old Yang is right. That guy is cunning. Don’t forget how he humiliated Old Zheng p>
“Old Zheng, what do you think p>
As they spoke, everyone turned their gaze to an old man in his fifties sitting on the sofa.

This old man was none other than Zheng Guoqiang, who had tried to use Liang Yuan to deal with Wang Ze’s group!
After Liang Yuan killed Wang Ze’s group, he also killed his niece, Zheng Yuanyuan.

At that time, Liang Yuan didn’t think about Zheng Guoqiang. He was only focused on looting.
But Zheng Guoqiang didn’t forget this.
To be honest, he wasn’t so emotionally attached to his niece.
But this incident made him wary of Liang Yuan.
He knew that he had asked Liang Yuan for help using the pretext of rescuing his niece.
Yet Liang Yuan still killed her, fully aware that she was Zheng Yuanyuan. What did this mean?
It meant that Liang Yuan had opinions about him and had seen through his intentions at the time, showing him no goodwill.
So after Liang Yuan took control of Building 75, Zheng Guoqiang kept a low profile and hid.
And the people here were basically all those who had a grudge against Liang Yuan.
Zhou Qin was actually the cousin of Zhou Wen, one of Wang Ze’s right-hand men.
She had always been a member of Wang Ze’s group but rarely showed herself due to being a woman.
When Liang Yuan was cleaning up Wang Ze’s group, he missed this woman.
The forty-something man near Zheng Guoqiang was Li Chun, who used to work for Chen Hong.
After Chen Hong died, he quickly hid at his relatives’ place here.
Those relatives were Fu Xingwen.
The younger one was Fu Tiao, Fu Xingwen’s son.
As for Fu Xingwen, he wasn’t part of Wang Ze’s group or Wang Ze’s subordinates.
But he had a blood feud with Liang Yuan.
Previously, he and Cai Zhi were trapped in a room by the Mutant Cat.
At that time, Liang Yuan came to rescue them but used one of them as bait, letting the others escape.
However, while leaving, Fu Xingwen deliberately left some cans behind, drawing the attention of the Mutant Cats.
At that time, he intended to use the Mutant Cats to kill Liang Yuan.
Honestly, he didn’t have a significant grudge against Liang Yuan back then; he was just angry about a few words they exchanged.
But he couldn’t swallow his anger, so he did it.
After Liang Yuan rose to power, not only did he wipe out Wang Ze’s group, but he also became the undisputed leader of Building 76.
Fu Xingwen was so scared he didn’t dare to leave his house. It was only after several days that he realized Liang Yuan’s group probably hadn’t come after him, so he relaxed a bit.
But he still didn’t dare to show himself freely, always disguising his face when he went out.
He knew very well that Liang Yuan and his group might have just forgotten about him, but if they found out about his existence, they wouldn’t let him go.
By now, Liang Yuan was entirely different from when he had just wiped out Liu Erlong’s group. He was the leader of Building 76.
Later, Fu Xingwen met Zheng Guoqiang and the others. Since they all had issues with Liang Yuan, they gathered together for mutual support.
As they watched Liang Yuan solidify his leadership in Building 76 and gather more followers, they dared not show themselves.
They could only go fishing at night and have Zhou Qin and Fu Tiao, the two unfamiliar faces, exchange the catch for food.
Over time, their fear of Liang Yuan gradually faded, while their hatred for him grew.
